Thailand: PPG, commercial banks (NFL, current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$2.5 billion in 1998 and the biggest yearly fall was US$2.92 billion in 1999. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2006 to 2015 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 10% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
